so i just started playing piano about 4 or 5 months ago,and i have been using sheet music to learn songs but i was wondering jow do you play two notes "tied" together?you know a "tie".i read on wikipedia that you play the notes as one note.does that mean i play them at the same time or what?also any tips on playing with both hands? i can do some songs but i have trouble learning.

Think of it as one note...just held longer

A tied note is played as one note. for example. A quarter note tied to another quarter note should be played like a half note.

Or a half not tied to a quarter note should be held for three beats instead of 2.

To help, my teacher drew a line through the tied note to help me remember not to play it. Anyway good luck.

I started playing with both hands after my fourth lesson. I found it quite easy but everyone is different
